Weight Loss Blog
The Weight Loss Blog offers news and information about nutrition and fitness as well as actual weight loss success stories as told by students at Wellspring Academies, formerly Academy of the Sierras, the first boarding school for overweight teens. WSA is part of Wellspring, which also runs Wellspring weight loss camps.
The Blog started with entries by 15-year-old Jahcobie who graduated from WSA after losing 176 pounds in seven months. Then Brooke, a 17-year-old from Prescott, Arizona, took over. Our latest student blogger was Melissa, a 17-year-old from Orange County, California. Melissa recently graduated and we wish her success and she continues down her path as a "long-term weight controller."
Andy D. a 17-year-old student at Wellspring Academy spent a few months sharing his adventures in weight loss, healthy eating, and fitness fun with us before he graduated the program in June.
Now we'll continue to update you with news and information about weight lose, healthy living, and childhood obesity. We'll have a new WSA student share their stories with us beginning in the Fall.
Wellspring programs are the most effective weight loss solutions for teens available today. But don't let us tell you. Let Andy, Melissa, Brooke, and Jahcobie tell you. Read about their journeys toward successful weight management in their own words.

Take Back the Power
Why do they affect me so much? So many times I have thought that very statement to myself about family, friends, and even ordinary people. The truth is that they have as much power over you as you give them. So if you decide to not to give them power then that's the best thing. I found myself wondering why I was upset at a someone today when the truth was that I really cared about them. As much as I told myself I could never care about a person like that it came down to a situation where this person had the power that I had given to him. I really wanted to be accepted in his eyes and it's weird what our minds will do to let that be. I also found myself getting very worked up and angry at the fact that I was so emotional when they came up and talked to me. I didn't know what to do or what should I say. That's ok because in that moment you can call me paralyzed. I started to reflect on myself and rationalize. So many thought were running through my mind and I felt so pressed with time. So I came up with a plan to take back the power we give to people.
First thing you recognize that you are giving them power. Secondly you just scope out the situation. Try thinking, are they really worth all the trouble? Are they as worked up as you are? The answer is that most likely their probably not worth the trouble and aren't nearly as worked up as you are. So I end with say Take Back The Power!!!!!
